She runs faster than I can follow,
Chased by the winds,
That blow us both from foreign shores,
And distant places,
I adore you when you fail.

And everyday since I arrived,
I pray that we will not wake up,
Feel the cracks all forming,
All these imperfections of our lives.

If every day we want to feel,
Why does it feel so ordinary?
We close our eyes.

We close our eyes,
And winterstorm I feel it coming,
The frost is covering the ground.
It's just a matter of time,
Til everything we ever wanted,
Gets swept up by the northern lights,
I feel it coming tonight.

And when I race a million miles,
With blinders on,
To endless height,
I feel your voice descending,
Wraps like a warm breeze.

And then I'm falling through the clouds,
And through the trees into the ground.
Where I will make a bed of thorns,
Cut from the cold that is the world.

If this is everything you need,
We will lie beneath the leaves,
We'll close our eyes.

We close our eyes,
And winterstorm I feel it coming,
The frost is covering the ground.
It's just a matter of time,
Til everything we ever wanted,
Gets swept up by the northern lights,
I feel it coming tonight.
I feel it coming tonight.
I feel it coming tonight.
I feel it coming tonight.

And when you leave,
The winter sleeps,
I cannot move,
I will not speak,
My finger's gripped so tightly,
Wrapped around this screen door.

And I'll be waiting by the shore,
Buried in words I can't ignore,
And I will keep our bed of thorns,
Cut from the sins that are the world.

If this is everything you need,
I'll will wait beneath the leaves,
I'll close my eyes.

We close our eyes,
And winterstorm I feel it coming,
The frost is covering the ground.
It's just a matter of time,
Til everything we ever wanted,
Gets swept up by the northern lights,
I feel it coming tonight.
I feel it coming tonight.
I feel it coming tonight.
I feel it coming tonight.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
